They are setting us up for the criminalization of speech, as they already have in other parts of the Anglosphere.

less interesting than your fevered dreams.  his legal troubles started well before this.   and he plead guilty

They told me if I voted for Ron Paul I was wasting my vote -- and that was in the Primaries

I missed the whole point; I thought we were just riffing on "they told me"  :facepalm:  (I hate it when I do that)

Just finished watching it on youtube.
The production value is not even to the level of what a high schooler might make.
I probably spent more time reading comments which had far greater entertainment value.

I can only a few reasons for muslims/obama blaming this movie for the embassy attacks:
A. muslims have within their ranks people who truly are bleeding idiot barbarians.
B. The obama admin wants to use this as an example to crack down on free speech.
C. Both A&B

Where is the ACLU?

You want to know why normal people feel nothing but loathing and contempt for the ACLU? Just look at their complete silence on this Mohammed-video business. Not a peep on their website, which is all war-on-women, get-out-the-vote Democratic-party talking points. This despite the fact that the FBI is being sent to hunt down the producers of material that is unquestionably protected by the First Amendment.

OMFG, some of them are actually quite good.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

What does probation for ANY crime have to do with the first amendment and getting the ACLU to do what they say they're there for? Using computers to make and distribute the movie (potential probation violation), and the movie itself, are two completely different issues. Other than the fact that if he'd made a youtube video on how to bake his favorite cookie recipe, no one would be taking him in for violating his probation.

has he been charged over the film?  or are you trying to spin his meeting with his po into something more sinister?  is he being held?  no?  as a parole he gives up many rights.  he has options even then.  decline parole

Yes, quite frankly, I am. As I mentioned, if it was a YouTube video on baking cookies, he wouldn't have been investigated by the FBI, nor would he have been brought in for parole violation questioning.

What bothers me is apparently the DoJ evidently outted the film maker.  Why is DoJ taking side and not defending the right of free speech?  Just one more example of how the DoJ has evidently flipped allegiances.  That one assumption creates a whole host of questions no one to date has the bollocks to answer.

And how many (or what percentage) parolees get hauled in for violating their parole ??   Damn few, unless they interfere with the president's re-election campaign.

Forest, meet Tree.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

the trick to not getting pulled in is to not draw attention to oneself.  you know like making a movie thats deliberately designed to make a ruckus.  using an alias in direct conflict with judges order is just stupid icing

and we seem to conveniently ignore the reality thats hes still free. one moght say he got preferential treatment. at least so far   zomg!

Because if GWB were in office and some probationary got the hairy eyeball for producing something politically awkward for GWB & they started investigating him due to that, the ACLU would be hollering "selective enforcement" from the rooftops.

CSD, here's the consistent problem with your arguments in all threads similar to this:

There's a Zombie attack in your town. Everybody is heading for the hills, abandoning their cars on the downtown streets. You're the meter maid still downtown putting tickets on all the abandoned vehicles because they're illegally parked.

Was that your way of addressing his blatant violation?
The fact that so far he has not been violated?
or the fact that contrary to the gestalts consensus hes not in some suspicious minority if he does get violated?

You can be violated for quitting your job, even if its to take a better one. I know a guy violated for marrying the women he'd lived with for 20 years and had 3 kids with. He needed permission. You can be free white and 21 and get violated for 1 sip of beer. They take extra time to explain the details. So far rather than showing arbitrary enforcement ,r meth with a side of bank fraud has gotten if anything especially lenient treatment.how that can be spun to make him a martyr is mysterious.
